About the Game

Welcome to a new world! Take on the role of a hunter and slay ferocious monsters in a living, breathing ecosystem where you can use the landscape and its diverse inhabitants to get the upper hand. Hunt alone or in co-op with up to three other players, and use materials collected from fallen foes to craft new gear and take on even bigger, badder beasts!

INTRODUCTION

Overview
Battle gigantic monsters in epic locales.

As a hunter, you'll take on quests to hunt monsters in a variety of habitats.
Take down these monsters and receive materials that you can use to create stronger weapons and armor in order to hunt even more dangerous monsters.

In Monster Hunter: World, the latest installment in the series, you can enjoy the ultimate hunting experience, using everything at your disposal to hunt monsters in a new world teeming with surprises and excitement.


Setting
Once every decade, elder dragons trek across the sea to travel to the land known as the New World in a migration referred to as the Elder Crossing.

To get to the bottom of this mysterious phenomenon, the Guild has formed the Research Commission, dispatching them in large fleets to the New World.

As the Commission sends its Fifth Fleet in pursuit of the colossal elder dragon, Zorah Magdaros, one hunter is about to embark on a journey grander than anything they could have ever imagined.

ECOSYSTEM

A World That Breathes Life
There are various locations teeming with wildlife. Expeditions into these locales are bound to turn up interesting discoveries.

HUNTING

A Diverse Arsenal, and an Indispensable Partner
Your equipment will give you the power to need to carve out a place for yourself in the New World.

The Hunter's Arsenal
There are fourteen different weapons at the hunter's disposal, each with its own unique characteristics and attacks. Many hunters acquire proficiency in multiple types, while others prefer to attain mastery of one.


Scoutflies
Monster tracks, such as footprints and gashes, dot each locale. Your Scoutflies will remember the scent of a monster and guide you to other nearby tracks. And as you gather more tracks, the Scoutflies will give you even more information.


Slinger
The Slinger is an indispensable tool for a hunter, allowing you to arm yourself with stones and nuts that can be gathered from each locale.
From diversion tactics to creating shortcuts, the Slinger has a variety of uses, and allows you to hunt in new and interesting ways.


Specialized Tools
Specialized tools activate powerful effects for a limited amount of time, and up to two can be equipped at a time. Simple to use, they can be selected and activated just like any other item you take out on a hunt.


Palicoes
Palicoes are hunters' reliable comrades out in the field, specialized in a variety of offensive, defensive, and restorative support abilities.
The hunter's Palico joins the Fifth Fleet with pride, as much a bona fide member of the Commission as any other hunter.

People who disable comments on their reviews are cowards. Nuf said. I've owned MH games since the 3DS days, always buying them whenever they pop up. I was never any good at it, and always thought they were confusing to me, but everyone always said that these games can easily run you a few hundred hours of gameplay, and not doing 100% just most armors and upgrades. On a budget and working with 3DS and then Wii (hell, I even bought the MH Generations Ultimate on the Switch 1), I found this appealing. Even if I could never get into it properly. Monster Hunter Worlds, however, was the first game where this "clicked." I finally got it, finally understood! I get it now, and now I'm going to be grinding out the materials for every armor set and all their upgrades. The fighting is amazing and feels very real. God, what have I been missing this whole time?

Wanted to play this game with friends, but it was extremely clunky to play through it together. You have to start the mission alone, run around until you get to the cutscene and then leave the mission to then join your friend in this. I'm told it gets a lot more fun when you're done with the story and just hunt, but getting to that point was such a chore we stopped.

it's a good game. I wish the multiplayer was more intuitive and user friendly. invites are not easy initially. I know it's an RPG but resource grinding can be too much at times.

This games encourages multiplayer but makes it impossible to use. If you want to play solo its probs fine but I only bought to play multiplayer and its so broken that it makes this game unplayable.
